John Bolton accuses White House of 'censorship' over forthcoming memoir
Washington Examiner ^ | February 17, 2020 | Rob Crilly

Speaking onstage to Peter Feaver, professor of political science at Duke, Bolton, by his own admission, “ducked” questions about his instructions from Trump. He said the administration’s prepublication review meant that he could not discuss details for fear of legal action.

“I say things in the manuscript about what he said to me. I hope they become public someday,” he said. “He tweets, but I can’t talk about it. How fair is that?”

This removes all benefit of the doubt I had for Bolton.
He was there to serve himself not the President and not his nation.

BlackElk (R.I.P.) knew John Bolton in his younger days, and had nothing but good to say about him. So sad that Bolton’s character has decayed to the extent that he is letting his ego get in the way of the good of the country.

If you believe republicans would have voted to require the “cockroaches” like Biden, Ciaramella and Schiff to testify, I have a bridge...

I agree there. The no witnesses vote was for the benefit of GOP Senators who wanted the trial over ASAP. They couldn’t care less about POTUS. They haven’t supported him against the coup for 4 years and won’t start now.

I had a lot of respect for Bolton until this episode.

This situation has made it clear I had him pegged wrong for a long time.

This kind of mindset doesn’t crop up in six months.

Executive privilege is given to the person who earns 270 electoral votes. That’s fair.

Yeah, almost like Trump thinks he’s the President or something. Bolton screwed the pooch. He’s just another Bushbot.

“How ‘fair’ is it that Trump can tweet on a topic, and John Bolton has to keep his mouth shut about it?”

Well Johnny, God had to decide one day. “Do I make the world round, or fair?”.

Guess what?
